Live Everyday

My project for the Country View Crafts updates blog today is an altered shadow box frame and more of those scrummy Tim Holtz goodies – I am so looking forward to when Susan gets the new CHA releases into the shop – but I feel a huge spending spree coming on lol.

The full details of how I put this together are over on the updates blog but here are some of the photos of the process.

I collected various items that might work together, but ended up changing things in and out before I was happy with the finished design.

Flowers made from crinoline.

If you have time I will be happy to see you at the CVC Updates blog, but thank you for stopping by today and sharing in my creative journey.

Thursday is our first Country View Crafts workshop date where I will be teaching my Vintage Tag Journal. There are still a couple of places if you are interested. Full details can be found HERE. We have specifically chosen a venue close to the M1 easily accessible from London and the South, the Midlands, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and most of Essex. I am looking forward to a fun day full of inky goodness and lots of Tim Holtz goodies.

Just fabulous Brenda - what gorgeous colours for such a dull day (well here anyway!). I love all the little details and the crinoline flowers are super (I've just got some and been experimenting with it). Have a lovely weekend Jennie x
